O God,
Open my eyes to the needs around me.
Empower me to find ways to be part of your work in the world.
Show me how to love the people I encounter.
Give me strength to care for their needs and sorrows.
Guide me to do what I can to bring help and healing in their lives.
Teach me how to work for justice.
Show me the countless ways others are part of your mission.
Remind me that you are transforming the world and welcoming everyone to help.
Amen
